Count Available Textbox Characters

[ormsk]

I want to display in a label the number of available characters left available as a user enters data into a text box. I want this value to update as they enter each character.

I am sure I have seen this done in the past, but cannot find the thread.

I think it would involve usage of the controls on change event, and investigating the length of the controls .Text property - I think roughly

[tt]me!lblLabel.caption = 20 - len(me!txtBox.Text)[/tt]

should your limit be 20. Would surely need some tweaking/errorhandling ... and wouldn't this be more a forms question (forum702)?
